Coworkers in bed. Coworkers in your dreams. They wouldn't let you have your own blanket.
I think you need a life apart from Work. As they say, you need to stop bringing your work home with you.
Now, about romantic interests in dreams, it certainly is nice to meet new people and flirt whether one is asleep or awake; but I would not suppose there should be any crossover from dreaming life to waking life. I've often had ladies appear in my dreams -- a half a century of such visitations, and yet not once, not ever have I ever met any of these dream ladies in waking life. and now that I think about it, there has not been much of a cross-over in the other direction either... that is, not many of my Real Life lady friends have come to me in my dreams.
If the Waking Life and the Dreaming Life are parallel existences, then they are not necessarily very close, even if they go in about the same direction. some dream characters we may recognize, but many will be friends exclusive to our dreams.
Also, we should not dismiss the importance of our dream relationships. It is easy to dismiss the fun and joy we have with our dream companions by declaring in the morning that none of it was 'real'. But yet it was, subjectively. While it lasted the experience was real. And indeed, one needs to congratulate oneself for having dream friends. One requires social skills in one's dreams just as in real life, and without these necessary social skills, our dreams can be just as barren as our real lives, if we go about as anti-social brutes.
